17.21

潭州寶蓋山和尚。僧問。一間無漏舍合是何人居。師曰。無名不挂體。曰還有位也無。師曰。不處。問如何是寶蓋。師曰。不從人天得。曰如何是寶蓋中人。師曰。不與時人知。僧曰。佛來時如何。師曰。覓他路不得。問切切時為什麼不立人。師曰。歸亦蹋不著。曰恁麼時如何成立。師曰。不與時人知。問世界壞時此箇何處去。師曰。千聖尋不得。曰時人如何歸向。師曰。直須似去。曰還有的也無。師曰。不立標則。

Upādhyāya of Mount Baogai in Tanzhou. A monk asked: 'In a single-room outflow-free dwelling, who should reside?' The master said: 'Without a name, it does not hang upon the body.' The monk said: 'Is there still a station or not?' The master said: 'It does not dwell.' A monk asked: 'What is Baogai [Precious Canopy]?' The master said: 'It is not obtained from humans or devas.' The monk said: 'What is the person within Baogai?' The master said: 'Not known to the people of the times.' The monk said: 'What about when a Buddha comes?' The master said: 'His path cannot be found.' A monk asked: 'In the urgent moment, why is no person established?' The master said: 'Even returning, one cannot tread upon it.' The monk said: 'At such a time, how is it established?' The master said: 'Not known to the people of the times.' A monk asked: 'When the world is destroyed, where does this go?' The master said: 'A thousand sages cannot find it.' The monk said: 'How do the people of the times take refuge in it?' The master said: 'One must go just like that.' The monk said: 'Is there still a target or not?' The master said: 'It does not set up a standard.'
